It's a little hard to tell from the picture, but Victoria has a lot of basaltic/mid-ocean ridge type bedrock, as well as fairly extensive metamorphic units (think Mt Tolmie, or the banding in Cattle Point rocks). I would guess yours is something basaltic, maybe with low levels of alteration (a green colouring could be from chlorite).
If you're interested, I recommend this guide for any beach stones, particularly in the Victoria area. It's written by a University of Victoria earth science professor, and I believe it's available in the University's bookstore as well as the Royal British Columbia Museum.

Yes! That mission is what really sparked her interest! I often show her the new pictures and we're both so in awe of the fact we're looking at the geology of a totally different planet!
Thanks for the book recommendation! Looks like it's on Amazon :)
